The Billionaire's Possession

Chapter 22

Biglang natahimik ang sarili ko. I open my mouth to speak but I couldn't even find a word to say.

I unconsciously spoke up to myself. 'What now, Tamarah? Cat got your tongue?'

I just find myself smiling and biting my lips. Damn! Hearing him say that makes my heart flutter.

Bakit ba ako kinikilig eh diba galit nga ako sa kanya?

Bakit ba galit ako sa kanya? Ah kasi hindi niya ako pinapansin kanina nung tinanong ko siya dahil nagseselos siya.

Napailing nalang ako sa naisip ko.

Shit!

Kaya ba? Damn! Why didn't I figure it out a while ago?

Ugh! Figures.

"Stop smiling babe." Trace annoyingly blurted. Lumabas kami at pumunta sa
Moons Cafe.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling because of what happened.

He still really amazes me. Ganyang-ganyan din siya nung magselos siya kay Lucas noong hindi pa kami.

Napapailing nalang ako ng wala sa oras.

"What's wrong with Cal? May problema ba siya?"

Tumatango-tango lang si Trace habang tinititigan ako.

I leaned on the table and  stared at him.

He just smiled and pinch me in my cheek. Tsk. Masakit 'yun ah.

"I'll call him later." He finished his cup and stood up. "Washroom lang ako babe." He added.

My eyes followed him and stop when he enters the washroom. I was about to look away when my eyes caught something familiar.

The way she stands out in the crowd is very tolerating.

How could I forget her when I used to envy her of having Trace?

Kanina pa siyang palinga-linga na parang may hinahanap until our eyes met.

She smiled at me the way she do.

I was thinking if she could still smile like that if she  would know later what's between me and Trace. But I wouldn't bet that she didn't knew.

For all I know, pinapasundan niya kahit saang lupalop pumunta si Trace.

"Bitch. I shouldn't have trusted Trace with you!" She said grabbing the chair in front of me and sit.

I raised my brows to her.

"As far as I could remember, hindi mo naman pinagkatiwala si Trace sa akin." I lightly said.

Her hands turned to fists. She gritted her teeth while looking at me.

"Your such a gold digger. Why? Did Trace spend lots of money for you?"

Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa sinabi niya but I choose to remain calm.

Sabi nga nila, the best way to shot back at your enemy is to make her regret of scaring you.

"Yeah. He spend a lot buying gifts for me. We go shopping together, we eat together, we rest together and we stay together. I was wondering. Did he do that to you?"

It looks like she wanted to shout but she just stared at me. Cold and bloody stare.

I could be dead right now if looks could kill.

Nasaan naba kasi si Trace? Bakit ang tagal niya?

Bigla siyang tumayo at hinampas ng malakas ang kamay niya sa table namin dahilan para lumingon sa amin ang ibang tao.
